Deck: Shadowscapes Tarot

Card: Four of Swords

This is someone who has made a decision and is taking a crucial moment before action. This is that important moment of rest that must occur before action can be taken. This is when you can take a deep breath and relax, knowing that things are in order. This is the rest you can have once you've gotten everyone's holiday presents wrapped and ready. This is the rest you take after you receive the acceptance letter from the school of your choice. When you get that job offer you've been waiting for.

This is the rest that you're allowed once the decision has been made. You can still change your mind; the other choices still loom in the distance. You can still buy a new present, go to a different school or find another job. But for a moment, one glorious moment, you are allowed to rest and contemplate your future.

That's what this card represents.
